I have run out of gas twice when it showed 2 bars and 3 (in that order). That is over the 6 years that I have owned Tiamat....damn has it really been that long already??? Anyway, it is a strange occurrence for sure. The length of time between those hiccups was about 4 months iirc. I decided to reset the ECU after that. This happened back in the 07/08 timeframe. Since then I have not ever had another issue. I agree with the peeps above that once you have figured out the typical mileage that you are getting with a car you should never just rely on it and use the odometer as your "gauge". Today's modern cars are all electronics and gadgets which tho make things "better" they also make things more complex. The more you add the more can break. There is something that can be said for a car from the 50/60/early 70s era when it comes to simplicity and reliability.
